Soob

I've pretty much committed to moving Soob to greener pastures as far as platform is concerned. The Blogger platform is great for it's easy interface but frustrating for it's limitations (and I am hopelessly ignorant in regards to HTML.) Having spent nearly an hour and a half trying to size and resize, crop and re-crop a pic for my header I've lost the last of my patience. The question of course is where to go?

I'm leaning heavily toward Wordpress (which powers the likes of Coming Anarchy, Pacific Empire and Hidden Unities, all great looking blogs.) When I first started Soob here at blogger I also claimed a Wordpress alias under the same moniker. So I fired up Soobs long lost "twin" and spent some time experimenting. It took, literally, three minutes to accomplish what I couldn't accomplish here after more than an hour and plenty of colorful (and occasionally new) language. The novel ability to not only upload but crop a new header.

At any rate, I'll spend the next few weeks playing around with other platforms before making the move. One worrying unknown is the ability to transfer the posts and commentary from the original Soob to the new. Any advice is not only welcome but encouraged.

Update:
I've imported Soob onto wordpress. As I tweak and redesign some will notice links to their blogs from SoobII. SoobI is and will remain the "true" Soob for the time being so don't adjust your bookmarks or blogrolls just yet.
